bloomer 22. The waist 20 is open at the back and thus overlapping flaps 23 and 24 are provided adapted to be fastened together bysultable fastening devices 25 such as buttons and buttonholes.v The waist 20 s further provided with a waistband havmg a front portion 30 and a back ortion formed of two members 31 and 32, 0 which the member 31 formsan integral part of the front portion 30 while the member 32 is fastened at its upper edge by stitches 33 to 20 and to overlie the tion 30 of the waist 20 is provided with buttons 40; buttons 41 are attached to the rear member 31; and back buttons 42 and slde buttons 43 are attached to the rear member 32.

The bloomer 22 is provided with the usual bloomer legs and with a front waistband 51, and a back sanitary flap 52 having a back waistband 53. The front waistband 51 is provided with buttonholes 54 engaging .the buttons 40 at the front waistband portion 30. The waistband flap 52 is engaging member 31 of the waist 20, and the said waistband 53 is provided with narrower side buttonholes 56 engaging the side buttons 43, as previously mentioned. Thus by the arrangement described, the bloomer 22 is supported from the waist 20. i

The skirt 21 is provided at the rear with a placket 60 vided with tonholes 63 53 of the sanitary provided with back buttonholes 55 front buttonholes 62, side butandrear buttonholes 64. The

the buttons 41 on the waistband and with a waistband 61 pro front buttonholes 62 are adapted to be engaged with the buttons 40 (see Figs. 1 and 10) and theside buttonholes 63' are adapted to engage the side buttons 43 (see Fig. 11),

and the rear buttonholes 64 are adapted to engage the buttons 42-on the outer waistband member 32 of the waist 20 V (See Fig. 8). Hence lt-Wlllbe seen that the front portion of the waistband 61 overlies the portion 51 of the bloomer 22,

front waist and the rear portion of the said waistband 61 overlies the waistband portion 32 of the waist 20. From the foregoing it will be seen that the dress 21 is supported from the waist 20.

The sanitary flap 52 is detachably connected with the waist 20 wholly independent of the front portion of the bloomer or the skiit 21 and hence the said sanitary flap 52 can be opened or closed without disturbing the fastening devices used for connecting the front of the bloomer with the waist 20 or the fastening devices connecting the skirt 21 with thewaist, 20.

It will further be noticed that the dress 21 can be entirely disconnected from the waist 20 thus providing afigarment composed of a waist and bloomer, thereby providing a bloomer romper. It will, also be noticed that the bloomer can be detached from the waist with the skirt attached to the waist thus providing a dress, When the waist, the bloomer and the skirt are connect- 'ed with each other as described, a bloomer dress is provided.

Having thus described my lnventlon, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 2- v 1 1. A garment, comprising a walst having a waistband made double at the back to provide outer and inner back members arranged in overlying relation one to the other, a bloomer having a sanitary back flap detachably connected with the said v inner member of the waistband of the waist, the front of the bloomer being detachably connected with the front of the waistband of the waist, and a dress overlying the bloomer and detachably connected with the front of the said waistband of the Waist and with the outer member of the back of the waistband of the said waist to allow of opening and closing the said sanitary flap without disturbing the said dress.
